Get your groove on in YMCA group class

AUBURN – The YMCA is offering a free Group Groove class for adults at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28. Participants must register in advance by calling 795-4095 or stopping by the YMCA front desk prior to Aug. 28.

“If you can move, you can groove,” said wellness director Tish Caldwell. Caldwell said of the new Group Groove exercise class, “You’ll stomp, flick, wriggle, hip, hop, snap, shimmy, shake, slide, glide, smile and laugh your way through this 60-minute fitness dance program. You’ll experience a fusion of club, urban and Latin dance styles with motivating chart topping hits and retro classic tunes. Our supportive, funky, easy going instructors will help you get a move on with Group Groove.”

Group Groove is for anyone of any age who wants to have fun and sweat a bit. Because Group Groove is a cardiovascular fitness program, it can be done once a week or everyday.

The regular eight-week session with a one-hour class on Thursdays will begin at 5:15 p.m. Sept. 4. It is free for YMCA all-inclusive members and $56 for non-members.
